Our experts on hand 24/7

You receive more than secure machines connected to a world-class network; you get
a team of expert systems engineers at your disposal: leave the technicalities to us and get on with doing what you do best.

VIP explained:

The Positive Internet Company offers and supports a wide
range of liberating technologies. Whether it's an off-the-shelf guest
book script or a bespoke Internet superstore system, we have the
expertise and considerable experience to ensure that everything just
works, and works well.

You can host any type of site or web application on Positive
Internet's range of managed servers, from static pages to fully
interactive, database backed content-management systems. We install and
manage the world's most popular web-serving software, Apache, onto the
world's most popular web-services platform, GNU/Linux. Our experience
with these proven systems ensures that your site will have unmatched
uptime and stability.

Open Source Flexibility

Our technologies are generally Open Source. This means you are not
burdened by any software license fees, and will not be orphaned by
sudden discontinued development. You are instead using leading, popular,
peer-reviewed and unencumbered technologies. This is why sites
developed on Positive Internet servers are so responsive and stable: we
select software that allows complete tailoring.

Complete Control

Whatever your approach to the "alphabet soup" of technical details,
the important point is that these are popular, industry-standard
technologies. We take the burden out of ensuring that they all work
together in harmony. Furthermore, we will install friendly web-based
control panels to simplify any management you do wish to undertake. At
the other end of the spectrum, we will grant you full Superuser (root)
access to your server, and Secure Shell (SSH) access for fine-grained
remote management.

Popular Technologies

All the technologies you might require for making your site fully
interactive will be installed and configured to your requirements.
Popular or bespoke CGI scripts in Perl, Python, TCL and other languages
will work immediately. We will add any specific modules you require on
request. For rapid interactive development, the highly popular PHP
system allows you to embed database queries and other dynamic content
directly into your web pages. Of course, because the server is running a
full Unix-like environment, you have unrestricted access to its
toolset. This includes the C and C++ compilers, the shells and editors.
We ensure you have the richest development environment possible.

Java Power

For scalable enterprise solutions, we also offer as standard support
for all Java J2EE technologies. We provide a perfect platform for Java
Servlets, JHTML, JSP and JDBC, with their complementary XML/XSLT
engines. You will be able to produce infinitely scalable three tiered
solutions with tools like Jakarta Tomcat and the JBOSS Enterprise Java
Beans (EJB) platform, and for a fraction of the price of the proprietary
equivalents. Whilst some might find this a bewildering collection of
acronyms, web-teams will be pleasantly surprised and relieved to find
such a fully specified solution backed up so consummately by Positive
Internet's experts in the field.

Fastest Databases

To marshal all your data, the world's fastest database, MySQL, is
installed as standard. You can connect to it via any of the
above-mentioned technologies to produce extremely rapid dynamic sites.
You may also manage your remote database with packages like Microsoft
Access, via the free ODBC driver. We are also happy to install the
enterprise-ready PostgreSQL server.

The Positive Internet Company offers and supports a wide

book script or a bespoke Internet superstore system, we have the

works, and works well.
